Scenes

On a switcher’s Scenes page you tell NOALBS which of your OBS scenes to use for each situation. The list comes from OBS, so connect OBS first.

The Scenes page: LIVE, LOW and BRB scenes picked from OBS, plus Starting, Ending, Privacy and Refresh.

Chosen by the switcher from your bitrate and latency.

Role Used when
LIVE Your feed is healthy.
LOW Bitrate or RTT crossed the LOW trigger.
BRB / offline No usable feed on any server.

Stream servers can override these three while they’re in use.

Only used when you or a moderator asks for them, from the dashboard or chat.

Role What for Chat
Starting Before the stream goes live. Can be shown automatically on go-live (see Switching). !starting
Ending Wrapping up the stream. Can stop the stream after a while (the ending timeout). !ending
Privacy Hide the camera instantly. !privacy
Refresh Shown for a few seconds while the feed reloads. !refresh

NOALBS only switches away from scenes it knows: LIVE, LOW, BRB (and the servers’ overrides), and Starting when Then switch to LIVE is on. When anything else is on air, say your Privacy scene or a “just chatting” scene you picked by hand, it leaves OBS alone until you switch back to one of those.

That’s how you take over: switch to another scene and NOALBS won’t fight you.
